Portraits of co-workers and staff at the Big 4 Restaurant on Nob Hill in San Francisco ca. 1984-1986
I recently found one of my albums of photos from the Big 4 Restaurant that I had taken from 1984 to 1986. I started working at the Big 4 in 1984. My camera at that time was a little Olympus XA. It was a petite thing about as small as a cigarette pack, and I nearly always carried it hidden in my left pants hip pocket (I'm left- handed).
These photos are not the best images, as the camera lens was limited, and I was never using a flash attachment when I was inside the restaurant.
Nevertheless, I've posted these photos in order to share with the women and men who once worked, or still work, at the Big 4 Restaurant on Nob Hill.
